Abstract
Techniques for resolving conflicts between web service policies that are attached (via LPA and/or GPA metadata) to a policy subject (e.g., a WS client/service endpoint). In one set of embodiments, a priority value can be assigned to each policy attached to a policy subject via the policy's corresponding policy attachment metadata file. These priority values can be taken into account when determining whether one policy should be given precedence over another, conflicting policy attached to the same policy subject. In certain embodiments, as part of this determination, the priority value of a policy can be given greater weight than the scope at which the policy is attached.
